ORA-27086: unable to lock file over NFS -- but it's NOT Netapp!

My 10.2 database crashed, and when it came back I got the following error:
ORA-00202: control file: '/local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR'
ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use
Linux-x86_64 Error: 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
This is a classic symptom of a Netapp problem, which likes to hold file locks open on NFS mounts. There is a standard procedure for clearing those locks; see, for instance, document 429912.1 on Metalink.
Unfortunately, my files are mounted on an Isilon, one of Netapp's twisted cousins. I can find no references to "isilon" on Metalink, and we are at a loss how to resolve this.
My sysadmin assures me that "there are no locks on the Isilon". But I know this cannot be the case, because if I do the following:
1. delete the lockfile /local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR, and then
2. move my controlfiles aside, and then copy them back into place,
then the database will mount. However, it will not open, because now all the datafiles have locks.
Is there anyone with experience in clearing NFS locks? I know this is more of a SA task than DBA, but I am sure my SA has overlooked something.
Thanks

New information:
As stated above, I moved the controlfiles aside and then copied them back into place, like this:
mv control01.ctl control01-bak.ctl
cp control01-bak.ctl control01.ctlDid that for each controlfile, and then the database mounted.
But, after rebooting the machine, we discovered that all locks were back in place-- it looks like the system is locking the files on boot-up, and not letting them go. The lock is held by PID 1, which is init.
sculkget: lock held by PID: 1This is definitely looking like a major system issue, and not a DBA issue, and hence I have little right to expect assistance in this forum. But nonetheless I lay my situation out here before you all in case someone else recognizes my problem before the server bursts into flames!
The system is CentOS 4.5-- not my choice, but that's the way it is.

I am getting this error for last 2-3 days. I need to start up the database manually.
Daily there is crontab schedule which will take the cold backup and startup the database. When I am checking daily morning. DBt is going into MOUNT stage instead of OPEN stage. I have check the script every thing is fine.
Note: This is happening intermetendly. Also is error is happening with different datafiles each time.

This is the cold_backup Script ...
1) First, it will shutdown the db.
2) Copy all the crb files to the backup location.CRB files? Do you mean data files, control files and spfile/pfile?
3) Startup the db.
4) ZIp the files.
5) Deletes the old uncompress files.Any special reason why you use this approach? It may in fact be slower than zipping and compressing on the fly.
For example, 10GB of data files need to be be backed up. You can follow the above approach and make a 10GB copy. Then read that copied 10GB (20GB in total read at this stage) and then compress it (CPU resources needed) and then write 5GB of compressed data (assuming a 50% compression ratio was achieved).
Now compare this with reading 10GB, compressing it (CPU resources needed) and then writing 5GB. Not only is this significantly less I/O to do, but less physical space is needed too.
As for your problem - you can add some debugging code into the cold backup script to show whether any processes are using any of the Oracle datafiles prior to starting the Oracle instance. If so, then doing a process listing of the "guilty" process to determine who it is.
Also keep in mind that you also need clean starts and exits from shell scripts... in other words, what happens if a 2nd copy of the cold backup is started? Or when a previous run failed and is stuck as a background process?
In my experience, this is often the cause of the problem you're seeing - the database is started up, but the cold backup has a rogue process (remnant of some script failure) that still locks Oracle datafiles.

If the settings for kerberos v5 authentication are disabled, is it correct to say that it is not authenticating using Windows 2000.

Backing up files etc

I recently bought a Seagate external hard drive which I can see in Disk Utility and partition etc. However when I try to Carbon Copy Cloner it or even use Backup it always fails because of a variety of reasons such as:
Error 36
File names too long
Unable to identify file etc
I have never used anything on the G5 harddrive that isnt Mac software so I can't think it is a compatibility issue. If I try to drag files from inside Finder to the external drive the same sorts of thing happen - it will get so far and then one file or another will stop the process.
Any ideas about what is going on here?

Hi M,
OK, saw that and selected it then Erase and my bottom lines read:
Disk Description : Initio Total Capacity : 372.6 GB (400,088,457,216 Bytes)
Connection Bus : FireWire Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : External S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Connection ID : 3309542884803829 Partition Scheme : Apple Partition Map
Should I try drag and drop in finder to see if all my 'document directory' files transfer or is there something else that will 'prove the system'?

Oracle Linux 6.6 I tried to edit the /etc/resplv.conf file on nano, gedit and VI but the result doesn't appear on the file when I cat it

Oracle Linux 6.6 I tried to edit the /etc/resplv.conf file on nano, gedit and VI but the result doesn't appear on the file when I cat it

Hi ! do you mean the file /etc/resolv.conf ? This file should be by default in the /etc/ diretory and contains the dns-name resolutions. http://linux.die.net/man/5/resolv.conf http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node84.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolv.conf

Setting global umask via NSUmask or /etc/launchd.conf and /etc/launchd-user.conf broken?

The procedure to change the default global umask from 0022 to 0002, so that most files created by one user on a machine will be read-write by other users in the same group, seems to have been broken or to have been changed in OS X Lion from OS X Snow Leopard. What worked as far back as OS X 10.4 and was officially documented was done from Terminal: "defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences NSUmask 2" (with a sudo, if not logged in as 'root').
Another way documented in various places and which I actually used through OS X 10.6 was also done via Terminal. Two files were created: /etc/launchd.conf (for system-wide global umask) or /etc/launchd-user.conf (for user-specific global umask). The contents of each were simply the single umask command, "umask 002" or ("umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx", I can't remember which variant I used - they're functionally the same, though).
No matter which method I use, the 2nd or the 1st, the global umask no longer changes.
Does anyone know whether this has been deliberately hobbled under OS X Lion, requiring purchase of OS X Lion Server? Is this an OS X Lion bug? Or, am I looking at something wrong?

See this support article, which was written for OS X Server, but seems applicable to Mac OS X client versions as well:
Mac OS X Server v10.5, 10.6: Setting a custom umask
The excerpt below describes the use of /etc/launchd-user.conf, and strongly cautions against using /etc/launchd.conf.
Umask for user applications
In Mac OS X v10.5.3 and later, you can create the file /etc/launchd-user.conf with the contents "umask nnn". Do not include the quotation marks and replace nnn with the desired umask value, such as 027 or 002.
This will set the user's umask for all applications they launch, such as Finder, TextEdit, or Final Cut Pro, and control the permissions set on new files created by any of these applications.
Umask for system processes
In Mac OS X v10.4 and later, create the file /etc/launchd.conf with the contents "umask nnn". Do not include the quotation marks and replace nnn with the desired umask value, such as 027 or 002.
This will set the umask for all processes. Changing this value is strongly discouraged because it changes the permissions on files used by the system software. If the permissions are too restrictive, dependent software may not work. If the permissions are too open, they may introduce security issues.

Set systemwide variable with /etc/launchd.conf does not work in 10.10

Hi,
before i upgraded my system, i set in file /etc/launchd.conf some variables. I need this for the Shell, Eclipse and some other tools.
user@osx10-10:~$ cat /etc/launchd.conf
setenv M2_HOME /opt/maven
setenv MAVEN_OPTS "-Xmx2048m -Dmaven.surefire.debug=-Xmx2048m"
user@osx10-10:~$
With Mavericks there was no problem, since Yosemite no Variables are set.
Also when i try to set it manually with launchctl setting xxxxx xxxx, no variable is set.
Does anyone has a workaround for me?
Regards
Joerg

Alex It should work . by the way your PATH variable should be placed in /etc/paths like this :
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2/bin
Note after each line there is a return key
As for environment variables open your ~/.bash_profile and place the.
export ANT_HOME = /Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2
launchctl setenv ANT_HOME $ANT_HOME
export ANT_OPTS = -Xmx512M
launchctl setenv ANT_OPTS $ANT_OPTS
make sure you save and restart all applications that need to read environment variables. I faced the same problem with intelliJ accessing M2_HOME
As a side note : consulting the man pages of launchctl(1)
DEPRECATED AND REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY
     launchctl no longer has an interactive mode, nor does it accept commands from stdin. The
     /etc/launchd.conf file is no longer consulted for subcommands to run during early boot time; this func-
     tionality was removed for security considerations. While it was documented that $HOME/.launchd.conf
     would be consulted prior to setting up a user's session, this functionality was never implemented.
     launchd no longer uses Unix domain sockets for communication, so the LAUNCHD_SOCKET environment vari-
     able is no longer relevant and is not set.
     launchd no longer loads configuration files from the network

Error in Doc B15661-01: /etc/sysctl.conf rmem & wmem

Editing the file /etc/sysctl.conf
there is an error/typo in the kernel parameters, on Suse 9
the entries should be like this:
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
This should make the changes permanent.

Empty /etc/rc.conf? I got lost.

Hello,
I'm following the Beginners Guide provided in the wiki, the steps have been carefully written until the final step: the configuration. It seems that many things changed since that guide was written.
The file /etc/rc.conf is empty. Should I leave it that way? The guide is saying that many lines there need to be edited by me, but nothing is there. Is it a matter of adding them myself?
I've uncommented languages I need (ar and en), anything yet to be configured?
Regards,
Laser

You should try again, I guess.
There has been some bug report about this recently, maybe you should report there:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8898
When I encountered this problem I hadn't select all needed packages the first time... since I wanted to do two separated installs of pacman and the filesystem package.... this didn't work however, after I did a new install it went fine again... not sure what it is exactly but hopefully next time you try it just works (use some magic ), else you should really report your problems and configuration to above bugtask.

Clusterware confused in /etc/ocfs.conf or /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf

Hello,
This is very surprising sitaution . I installed ocfs2 ,when I finished installing clusterware it is asking for /etc/ocfs.conf and integrity check is failing.
OS RHEL 4 64 bit
ORACLE 10.2
anyone have clue that why clusterware is behaving like this?
Thanks,
S.Mann

More info...
I installed OCFS2 and when I check the inetgrity
the result is this
sh runcluvfy.sh comp cfs -n node1,node2 -f /u21

Why it is /etc/ocfs.conf as this is not the feature of OCFS2?
